Abstract: This ICR addresses the content and form of the statements of need and agreements required under TSCA section 14(d)(4), (5), and (6), which are described in the three guidance documents that have been developed to implement the authorities in TSCA section 14(d)(4), (5), and (6), and include some basic logistical information on where and how to submit requests to EPA. Making a request for access to TSCA CBI is a voluntary activity but is required in order to gain such access to CBI under TSCA section 14(d). Thus, the request for TSCA CBI is required to obtain benefits.
